But we are deeply sorry for being unable to provide everybody who has spent the days of training looking forward to the day of the event with the opportunity to show their daily efforts.

We have been discussing how to held it. We have been working hard every day to find the necessary solutions, making area limit of runners, transportation limit for runners, organization procedure. However, no matter what measures are taken, it is truth that new risk of infection occur in TAINAI where race venue has still no infection of the novel coronavirus.
Runners who training hard for this and their families who have been preparing for this, such as schedule adjustments, everyone who plan to volunteer on the day, and local people who have made an effort to work on "hospitality" will be greatly appreciated. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding of this severe situation.
The schedule of the race includes postpone date will be announced as soon as it's decided after discussion with related organizations. It will be made until end of May.
